Abstract: The DIAGNOSIS RELATED GROUPS (DRG) system is only an instrument that can be used for the assessment of the activity results of hospitals and for their financing. In order to implement the DRG system the first step must always be to define the health policies and the aims in view. The second step is to select and apply the DRG system based on the desired purposes and the tender spots of the chosen pattern. The DRG financing may be made either retrospectively or prospectively depending on how one desire to share the financial risk between creditor and hospital. The hospital implements the DRG classification in order to obtain a better image of its results and to compare same with other hospitals results. The DRG classification is an instrument useful to the hospital for the increase of efficiency (by identifying the necessary resources for every type of patient) in the services quality improvement process (by assessing quality and defining some practice patterns) for adjusting the activity and structuring the hospital (personnel, departments) and for achieving a management based on results and not on resources or processes.
